Description of problem:
Using a kernel xen config to compile produces a huge amount of compiler
warnings, such that it makes it hard to see if any changes my patch created
causes any new warnings.
The warning is
include/asm/mach-xen/asm/pgtable.h: In function ‘pud_present’:
include/asm/mach-xen/asm/pgtable.h:102: warning: ‘pud_val’ is static but
used in inline function ‘pud_present’ which is not static
A simple fix corrects the problem and life is happy again.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested
further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed
products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update
release.

Verified in 2.6.18-212.el5.
Compiling kernel with xen config, no warning looking like the one from bug description is printed. Although compiling -211.el5 kernel does not reproduce.
Also verified the patch went to 212.el5.
